The Kissing Booth Why Now?

37. WOW *

"Well...see when I was pregnant with you and Brad I had some mild periods." "Mom cut the crap." "OK, I am pregnant." My eyes popped wide open and my jaw dropped. "Your pregnant?" "Yep." "What the hell?" "Look it was hard for me and your dad to stay away from each other. Deep down we are still the same people and well..." "Oh, my God how long?" "Well after we came back from that business trip we all went on when you first found out about me." "Wait it has only been two months mom." "I know. Elle, I never stopped loving your dad. Even when I thought I was Matilda I would dream about him but I could never see his face. I would wish it was him every time that ass would put his arm around me. I would be alone in a room and I would remember what it was like to be in that man's arms from my dreams. So, when we left for the trip and your dad placed his hand on the small of my back it was then I truly knew that it was my Maxwell I was dreaming about." I look at her and smile "I completely understand mom."

She smiles at me "I take it you feel the same way about Noah." I nod my head "yep, I miss being in his arms when he is not with me." "So, you understand how we feel." I nod my head "do June and Mathew know." "Well June has suspected that we are back together but she doesn't know that we are getting married and are expecting our third baby." "Why not?" "Even though she is my best friend I wanted to tell my kids first." I shake my head "and here I thought you all believed Noah and I were rushing things." My mom smiles "baby girl when you all told me that you two were together I knew Noah would not wait too long before he made sure you were completely his." "Why mom?" She smiled bigger "because of the day you were born."

I couldn't help but remember the video I saw where you see little Noah walk up to June and Mathew as Mathew kneels down with Lee in his arms "Noah meet your baby brother Lee." Noah smiles and kisses his forehead before turning to my parents "remember I don't want no yucky girl." My mom shakes her head as I see my dad come out from behind the camera where Mathew took over. He takes me in his arms kneeling down "Noah I know you didn't want a little girl but please give your baby sister Elle a chance." He looks at my little face "she will not be my sister." He leans down and kisses my little lips. You hear June "why won't she be your little sister?" Noah turns around smiles "because she is my wife."

Smiling at the memory "yeah, but it wasn't until he was ten did he really realize he loved me." "So, didn't he ever tell you then?" "It was like he said he thought Lee had a secret crush on me and he refused to take away his baby brother's crush. So, he started making out with random girls to forget me when he turned sixteen." My dad continued from there "thus making him feel unworthy of our little girl." My mom shook her head "so are you two ok with us getting married so soon." I look at Brad and he is grinning from ear to ear and I smiled "yes, we are but I should warn you." "Oh, that hurricane June is going to drive all of us crazy with the wedding prep." I nodded my head "yep." One of the things we ironed out after "the talk" was that we would be moving into the house mom bought since we were going to need the space with the new baby. It didn't matter to my parents that I was going away to college and I would be married. They both wanted to make sure Noah and I had a place to stay when we came home.

True to form the next day when we announced to the rest of the family about the wedding and new addition June went into hyper mode. "I can't believe we have two weddings to plan. Thank goodness Elle and Noah's is almost done." My mom chuckled "well so is mine. I say we use the same caterer as them with the same food." My dad pipes in "but the cake will be white sponge cake with strawberry filling." June grins "and of course a small white sponge cake for those allergic to strawberries." "Yep, all Maxwell has to do is go and decide on his groom's cake." June smiled "well now we need your dress, your bridesmaid's dresses, and the location." I rolled my eyes "well remember nothing today since Noah is leaving at five."

The two of them nod and I took off with Noah to just spend as much time as we could alone. It wasn't long before we headed to the beachfront cafe to meet up with the folks. Noah, Lee, Brad, and myself were stunned when they found out about my parent's thanks to June decided on a big wedding. June was going to be the Matron-of-honor while I was the maid-of-honor. Mathew and Brad were the best men. Of course, Brad was not thrilled he would have to escort me out of the church but he was willing to do it for our parents. Well, that was until he heard them talking about making Noah and Lee the ring bearers. He begged our parents to let Noah be the other best man and he would be a ring bearer with Lee. It took a while but my parents gave into Brad.
